Six Flags Q1 Revenue Jumps 12%, Beats Estimates on Strong Attendance and Cost Cuts
FUN sits 60% above its 52-week low of $12.51.
Summary
Amusement park operator Six Flags reported a strong first quarter, with revenue climbing 12% year-over-year to $225.6 million, significantly surpassing analyst estimates. The company also narrowed its adjusted EBITDA loss to $123 million, outperforming expectations. This positive operational performance, driven by a 4% increase in attendance, a 6% rise in per capita spending, and a 12% reduction in operating costs, marks a notable improvement following a challenging 2025 which saw a $1.60 billion net loss. The better-than-expected results suggest a potential turnaround or stabilization in the company's operational execution and demand. Traders will be watching if these positive trends, supported by encouraging Q2 demand and new offerings, can be sustained through the critical peak season, despite potential pricing pressures.
